Thank you for viewing my work.
This is a large desk, made from Indian mango wood, constructed in a solid modernist style, with three drawers, fantastic solid tapered legs, reminiscent of Jean Prouve furniture, allowing spacious leg room below the working and storing area.
Products and processes.
Thorough cleaning and sanding, followed by three coats of Frenchic 'Earthy' paint to all four legs, three coats of Frenchic 'Pistache' to main body, table top, back, sides, front drawer apertures and under side (photos available on request). Left and right drawer fronts in ReColour 'Teal', with Rustoleum 'Chalky White' for hand painted pattern. Centre drawer front in bespoke mixed undercoat and top coat by Johnstones paints, followed with 'Pistache', 'Chalk White' and 'Teal' hand painted patterns. Videos and photographs of all processes available on request. Clear wax used to seal drawer fronts.
Inspiration and influence for design and colour.
The entire desk has an organic modernist look, with a French post war era feel, so I opted for muted complementary colours for the main areas and bright secondary complementaries for the drawer fronts, repeating the colours all over again in the details of the design. For the actual pattern I took inspiration from the mid century David Whitehead of Rawtenstall catalogues, particularly the surface patterns of Marion Mahler and Tom Mellor, and I replicated the line quality to fit the drawer fronts individually after practising on sample boards. The sample boards are also available by request.This desk is ready to use and in excellent repainted condition. drawers are running smoothly. The desk will arrive with legs wrapped separately, and they are easy to screw into place when you have found the right spot for the desk in your home. Shipping ref:c3

"The sideboard is stunning, thank you. Looks perfect in my flat. As if it was meant to be there".

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".

Very happy with item

We found this really good website called Upcite where we saw lots of different and unusual furniture. We were after something oldie looking to go under the eaves in our little snug room that has oak beams. This needed to be a specific size and look. Soo pleased when we found the Upcite website with a range of possibilities. We ordered a sideboard and it arrived within a few days and fits perfectly. It now looks lovely with it’s Christmas Garland on! From our experience we would recommend Upcite to others.

Item is nice but experience wasn't great

I did eventually receive the sideboard after a lot of back and forth, and the seller reached out to me. It arrived with a few scratches but that’s not the sellers fault and can be touched up. The experience however was rather stressful. I wish the seller had been as proactive from the start and not only after I complained, as it is simply nerve wrecking to spend close to £1000 and then never really hear from them and having to chase them repeatedly and the item not being delivered when it was agreed. Overall I am happy with the sideboard, but my experience wasn’t great and that’s how I genuinely feel.
